What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level Cloud/DevOps roles where I can apply AWS, infrastructure-as-code, and automation skills, collaborate in agile teams, grow under mentorship, and contribute to reliable, open-source-friendly systems.

I am a Cloud Engineer in training with a background in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, combining strong engineering fundamentals with hands-on experience in automation and systems troubleshooting. I earned Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) with a 100% score and have trained on AWS, building sample infrastructure with Terraform and automating workflows using GitHub Actions.

I have practical technician experience deploying security and network systems and diagnosing industrial automation equipment, and I embrace open source, Linux, and DevOps culture. I am open to junior or entry-level Cloud, DevOps, or Community Engineering roles where I can contribute reliably and continue to grow.
